Minotaur Forgiving Knossos - Moonface, Spencer Krug

I have accepted it

I’m disconnected

I am a monster in a maze and in a way I’ll live forever

I have accepted it

I am connected

My ugly head is like a mushroom on a tree of knotted muscle

I have accepted it

I am two halves and two hearts

One was on a hook while the other one just watched

And then they named me

They called me Asterion

But they were fools for naming me anything at all

I have accepted it

I’m disconnected

I am the body that you bury in the ground

I have accepted it

I am connected

I am alive in the ground like a bug

You’ll never know me

None of you will ever see my face

No matter how much we long to face the unknown

And that’s okay

Yeah, that’s okay

I have taught myself to dance alone

I hear your parties and your music in the evening

I hear your laughter and your singing creeping over the walls

So I taught myself to dance alone

I am the star of these infinite halls

I am the owner of my lone owl feather

And that is all

And while I know I’m not the brightest fire

I’ll never really understand why

You never sing any songs for me

You never bang on the door

There once was two different kinds of shadow

Dancing in a trance by the sea

And one was in disguise

Disguised as the other

They were attempting some kind of harmony

I was born into this

We were all born

You were born like a pearl

We were all born

We were all born

We were all born

From wall to wall, I am the star of these infinite halls

And while I know I’m not the brightest fire

I’ll never really understand why

You never sing any songs for me

You never sing any songs for me

And while I know I’m not your only monster

I’ll never really understand why

You never sing any songs about me

You never sing any songs about me

You never sing any songs about me

You never sing any songs about me

You never sing any songs about me

You never bang on the door

I have accepted it

And I forgive you

I am this monster in this maze and in a way I’ll live forever

You’ll never know me

None of you will ever see my face

No matter how much we long to face the unknown

And that’s okay

Yeah, that’s okay

We were all born

We were all born

You were born like a pearl

We were all born
